IN celebration of the 127th Araw ng Pinaglabanan, or the commemoration of the Battle of San Juan del Monte, the city government of San Juan, headed by Mayor Francis Zamora, organized several events to pay tribute to our national heroes and recognition to historical places and art galleries in the city last Wednesday at the Pinaglabanan Shrine.
“This year, we are pushing forward with our goal of reaching out to more tourists and visitors in our historical and art trails. We know that we have something different to offer – we have museums, churches, and art destinations that tourists can DIY and finish in a day. They also don’t have to spend a lot since most destinations are free. So we hope that with all that we’re doing, we can boost our local tourism,” the mayor explained.
They then unveiled the markers of the statues of Gat Andres Bonifacio, Gen. Emilio Jacinto, and Dr. Jose Rizal. The monuments, made by Eduardo Castrillo, were transferred from their original locations to the Pinaglabanan Shrine so Filipinos and foreign visitors could pay their respects and give reverence to the heroes who fought for Philippine Independence.
The mayor led the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the San Juan Art Exhibit and the launch of the San Juan City Art Trail. The art exhibit, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, features Filipino artists from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as local artists from San Juan City with artworks showcasing a wide range of artistic styles, techniques, and themes from the regions the artists came from. The exhibit runs until Sept. 5, 2023.
